doug you got my deepest sympathy on your loss.

[DHonks]

thanks for the condolences guys.

 

Josh, I'm glad to hear he's whole-heartedly embraced the bullpen and--eventually--closing. He stuff looked awesome on Wed

[molitor fan]

DHonks....so sorry about your brother.....take care man....i have been talking to you about the Brewers for almost 15 years now I think....life has its share of curves

I guess they trust JJ in high pressure situations. Just got wright to ground out w/ 2 outs

[BallFour]

I don't remember Jeffress making his pitching look so effortless. Really excited for him for his on the field play and more importantly his off the field lifestyle.

[agent39]

its always been there. I really think here is here to stay this time.

My plan for JJ when he was DFA was to elect for UFA regardless. Any time a team dfa's you 99.9 percent of the time you're not in their plans. Once UFA opened 10 teams contacted me. Ive been JJ's agent since 07. I know him as well as any player I have and he's like my brother. I've been there for all the ups and downs. I genuinely felt in order for him to reach his vast potential he had to come home. Two clubs made amazing offers to JJ that would have put him in the majors sooner that Milwaukee but in the big picture I always felt that this move had to happen for him to excel and I really did envision the headlines that came today. Today made me feel like I did a really good job for my client. It's one of the best non monetary rewards of my career and now the rest is on him. A big reason he came home was the clubs infrastructure of Doug,Gord,Reid, Diggs, and Chuck Caufield and it worked. I planned all of this but he did the work. Now we just have to sit back and see what happens.

 

I'd been hoping it'd happen a lot sooner. With the lefties we have, bringing in another RH'ed reliever in the 7th or 8th who can throw in the upper 90's is huge for the Brewers.

 

Now I know you're his agent, so you have a bias, but what do you think about his secondary pitches? How's the curve/change coming along? That's what'll make him a closer IMO. If he can throw that curve consistently and mix in a change every now and then(or the other way around.

JJ looks pretty good these days

[Hammer]

Better than "pretty good"...I'm so glad that he has been able to get things turned around. Both on AND off of the field.

Thank you for the updates. It is greatly appreciated! We look forward to next weeks announcement as well.

Next weeks announcement was Jaye Chapman signing today. Adam McCalvey is doing a piece on him and my next BP article will be on him. I am so thankful he got another shot and I think a lot of fans will be surprised by what they're getting in Jaye. He has a real chance to play in the major leagues. This could be a Turnbow/Axford/Henderson/Jeffress type signing.

Really great story. Sounds like it's been a very rewarding, though tough, journey for you and Mr. Chapman.

[agent39]

For those who want a better idea of Jaye and a personal thank you he sat down for an interview today

 

[SRB]

As always, love reading your posts Joshua. Great story!

[agent39]

 

For those who are somewhat inclined to see how I am, I did an interview yesterday with Jack. It's just all over the place and I have to accept I need to work on my camera skills. And shave. I must shave.

[agent39]

[Mass Haas]

One word, Josh.

 

Awesome.
